Music on Rails

Finally I’ve upgraded to Rails 1.2.2 with a new database (now around 3100 artists) and added DVD and Book boxes to the song list page.

Almost immediately after my last post, Google traffic plummeted by about 80% - was anyone reading the blog ??? ;-), so the majority of traffic is now coming from Yahoo even though it has indexed much less of the site. The Google bot still visits much more aggressively than Yahoo slurper. I am very curious as to the cause of the drop in traffic - most of the hits before and after are from pages in the supplemental index and I cannot imagine that the distribution of queries has changed. The different behavior is just about 4 weeks old - I am just working on other things, waiting to see what happens.
